Funk Asheville 2015

145 Jacob Holme Way, Candler, NC 28715
This appears to be the address for Wicked Weeds production facility if you want to arrange your own transportation.

 

This was in the emails they've been sending out about the event and I think posted elsewhere. What else is to know?

 

I've not gotten any emails, perhaps because I got my ticket at the brewery which required no email registration. I asked at the Funkatorium just a couple of days ago and the staff there acted like no schedule had been finalized.

 

Not 100% at all. Was rather late in the event, had a belly full of enjoyment...

 

Ah, that sucks. We've gotten the same info a couple times now in email, so I'd say its pretty set (as set as anything ever is at a beer festival...).

 

Natty Greene's Brewing Company will be bringing the following:

2015 American Sour
West Flanders-style sour ale 6.5% abv

Meerst Lambic-style ale
American sour and Guilford Golden spiced with Hyssop and Sweet Marjoram. 3.4% abv.

Gueuze-style lambic 6.2% abv.

Plus, 2-3 more surprises. Some old favorites and the debut of a new sour!

 

The Rare Barrel will be bringing the following:

Home, Sour Home
Ensorcelled
Shadows of Their Eyes

Possibly one other. Pumped to finally try their beer.

 

Durian smoothies with tapioca pearls. Best damn boba smoothie in the world.

 

4 hands (via):

cuvee ange
american wild ale - 5.5%
Cuvee Ange was inspired by the French Oak wine barrels we used for this project that once housed all French wine varietals. Fermented with wild yeast and aged in a combination of Cabernet, Merlot, and Grenache barrels with raspberries and blackberries, Cuvee Ange is a fruity, tart, complex ale. Cuvee Ange pours a bright rose with aromas of fruit, funk, and wood.

passion fruit prussia
berliner weisse - 3.5%
The Passion Fruit Prussia is our non-traditional look at the classic Berliner Weisse style. Brewed with a generous amount of passion fruit, this beer pours golden in color with a nice tart finish. A perfect compliment to the summer heat.

superflare
ipa - 7.5%
Collaboration with Wicked Weed. Brett IPA with mango, guava, mosaic, galaxy hops.

Perrenial (via):

Funky Wit
Witbier - 5%
Belgian Wit aged in Chardonnay barrels for 6 months with our house funky cocktail...This is the unfruited base beer to our "Funky Wit..." series of beers.
(Can't confirm but I assume they'll have several varieties of this)

 

Looking forward to tonight, I'll be repping conquest so say hi if you want.

Whooot!!!!!!!!!!!! Great event. Sean, where ever you are, you're killing me, try this, try that! Had a great time. Totally enjoyed what I had at this event, the Lost Abby was terrific, Westbrook's - "Lemon Coconut Weisse Weisse Baby" - outstanding!!!, The Rare Barrel's Ensorcelled didn't disappoint at all!, a shout out to Jackie O's Pub and Brewing for their, "Strawberry Rhubarb Berliner Weisse", 4 Hands, "Passion Fruit Prussia", and Greeen Man's Brewing's Snozzberry!, Upland Brewing Co's, Persimmon Sour Ale, and finally Natty Greene's 2015, "American Sour" and "Persik Sour".

Great event, worthy cause, good times!

 

Had a pouring for you guys last night and meeting some of you.

 

Damn that was fun. Got some Duck Duck Gooze right at the beginning to start it off right. I loved that 4 Hands brought a mosaic pale ale Super Flare. It smelled awesome and tasted delicious and bonus for breaking up all the sours we had. And that jackfruit sour from Natty Greene's was just so on point. Smelled like I just cracked open a jackfruit and it incorporated the sweetness so well too. Absolutely delicious. Got to talk to the guys at Natty too to let them know how impressed I was with it. Please have this at the Bunker sometime!

 

On tap currently, but won't last long! We're open again Friday at 5!
